Managing Partner/ Chief Troubleshooter at sps:affinity
My strength/skills/superpower:
I consider my biggest strength is at troubleshooting just like “Tinkerbell in Peter pan”, and superpower would be I thrive on unravelling issues, finding solutions and make things better! As per my title, when you troubleshoot you must be methodological, analytical, tactile, good at communication with high sense of empathy. Yet need to be curious and innovation to understand the situation with multiple view of the issue(s) to find the best possible solution to resolve it. As well being a mother of two, with Chinese heritage, English up-bringing and living in Dubai, the eclectic mix of culture, custom and diversity are all needing to be studied with respect and great care. To strike a balance of this all I believe take a high tension of interpersonal skills, and educating my two monkeys of these takes Saint like will power and patience.
How do your strengths play into the work you do?
One of the fundamental elements in troubleshooting is how do you simplify issues into bite-size, this is one of my ethos I always stand by. There are little things you cannot solve providing you have the tools, will and assets.
Clear head, target orientated and always listen are key! Adversity = Opportunities

My Advice for Women in hospitality and travel-tech:
Be open and true to yourselves, map out your personal SWOT analysis. You need to see your worth before others do, and by knowing who you truly are, you can then find your niche. Once you find it, hold on to it, improve your skills to further excel and manifest your talent. Be patience and not afraid to get your hands dirty along the way, as these all contribute to your development. And be curious on what other similar nature industries are doing, as you will find new horizons along the way.
